rjy01 Posted July 30, 2003 Report Posted July 30, 2003 From Gamespot: quote: Namco announces that it has secured the rights to produce games based on the lead character from John Carpenter's 'Escape' movies. Namco has today announced that it has secured the rights to develop and publish games based on the action hero character Snake Plissken played by Kurt Russell in the movies Escape from New York and Escape from LA. The character rights are owned by director John Carpenter, producer Debra Hill, and actor Kurt Russell--all of whom will be working with Namco on the development of multiple games. "Working with both the original team from Escape and the developers at Namco allows Kurt, Debra and me to reach a whole new generation of Snake fans and still be true to the original movie," said John Carpenter. The first of the Snake Plissken games from Namco will be an action game in which players battle their way through a post-apocalyptic universe using fists, firearms, stealth, and brains. Players can expect to face intense and challenging situations, and will be required to make quick decisions and take decisive actions. No further information on the Snake Plissken games is available at this time, save for the fact that Kurt Russell will lend his voice talent to the main character and that Namco hopes to release the first of them in time for Christmas 2005. How cool is that?
Commander Elio Jason Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 that's cool but why do i feel the name Plissken is familiar? i never watched any of those movies.

Probably from Metal Gear Solid 2, in the Plant Chapter when Solid Snake "cleverly" calls himself Lt Pliskin. Hey -- they paid homage.

d8alus Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 That's the problem with being 23 years old...I like all these old movies, but I couldn't buy them when they came out and I can't find them now...guess I get to hit up Amazon....
Kevin Trotter Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 Kiran you poor boy, watch out you don't get sent to see the Duke. Someone has severely neglected your education. here's a short list for you... Escape from LA.. Kurt Russell Assault on Precinct 13...John Carpenter's first film I Come In Peace....the definitive Dolph Lundgren. ...and please see Escape From New York before it's too late. Lastly I wonder if they'll let us fly one of those high tech gliders in the game?
SmokinBob1 Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 Isn't it Snake Blissken, from Escape from LA? I thought that was Kurt Russells character name. I liked the 'Escape' movies. rvs
Guest Hellbinder[CE] Posted August 1, 2003 Report Posted August 1, 2003 No it isnt Snake *Blisskin*.. Its Snake *Plisskin*...
Guest Grayfox Posted August 1, 2003 Report Posted August 1, 2003 quote:Grayfox -- you're the Duke. You're A number onnnnnnne!!! LMAO. i havent seen escape from NY in ages... seen escape from LA a few weeks ago on cable... maybe i should hit the local suncoast and see if they have both on DVD... and i would rather have the hologram thing than the glider any day
Kevin Trotter Posted August 1, 2003 Report Posted August 1, 2003 As usual you are right oh wise one,the hologram, uh..thing.
SmokinBob1 Posted August 1, 2003 Report Posted August 1, 2003 quote:Originally posted by Hellbinder: No it isnt Snake *Blisskin*.. Its Snake *Plisskin*... Thanks for the info. I was able to download the script last night, and sure enough, it is Plissken (with an 'e', I think). What a great movie that was. rvs
d8alus Posted August 2, 2003 Report Posted August 2, 2003 I've seen the two escape movies, but only on cable
